Love in Twilight novel (Clarissa and Damien) -
Chapter 250
Chapter 250 Her Belly "Aren't you going to work today?"
Clarissa continued to ask Damien. "No. I already spoke to Ray yesterday."
Clarissa gave it a thought, and wondered if Damien stayed home on purpose. Perhaps not. After all, she wasn't home when Ray came yesterday. There was no way for Damien to have the power to read the future.
"Alright," Clarissa answered reluctantly.
"You don't want me to drive?" Damien asked again.
"It's not that. I just feel like it's a waste to have a president like you as my driver," Clarissa replied seriously. "Anything. I don't mind," Damien said. Clarissa replied with another nonchalant hum.
Clarissa's belly was big, so she could only sit in the back. She didn't want to wear the seat belt, but Damien forced her to buckle up.
When Damien was putting on Clarissa's seat belt, he accidentally touched her belly with his hand. Her belly felt very hard, like a bulging balloon.
Damien seemingly paused the actions on his hand by instinct. He subconsciously drew a circle on Clarissa's belly.
Clarissa felt a little uncomfortable at his paused movement. After all, they were his babies. Although they were under the same roof, he had never touched her stomach.
Damien went to the driver's seat and drove.
Clarissa looked out the window. Several times, she had the urge to tell Damien that the babies were his. Upon recalling the devastating incident when her mother fell and his inhuman cruelty, Clarissa decided against it.
Clarissa knew she was being cruel, but she just couldn't make peace with him, especially not after everything he had done.
When they arrived at Arisona Construction, Damien and Clarissa went to the meeting room together. At first, Mr. Lark was disgusted by Clarissa's visit. However, he suddenly understood everything when he saw Damien behind Clarissa. That must be why James had called Clarissa personally.
Damien might have called James last night and told him about it.
Clarissa was flaunting her power like a fox. However, James wasn't interested in her. Rather, he was interested in the man behind her. After all, it was Arisona Construction's dream to work with New East Corporation.
Damien was a big name in Genovia. How could anyone not know him?
"You guys talk. I'm just the driver." After saying that, Damien sat down at the back of the conference table and picked up a newspaper to read. He was dressed casually today, and didn't look like he was here for a work meeting.
At this point, James and Mr. Lark could only pretend not to know Damien. "Miss Johnson?" James greeted Clarissa politely.
Arisona Construction wasn't qualified enough to work with New East Corporation as a business partner. They both knew Damien, but they did not know that Damien's ex-wife was Clarissa.
They wondered about Damien's relationship with Clarissa. Damien was Clarissa's driver today, and coupled with Clarissa's pregnancy... Whose baby could it be?
"Yes." Clarissa sat down next to them.
Mr. Lark had already taken out their company's information and talked to Clarissa about the financial matters in detail.
Clarissa listened very carefully. When she spoke, she was very experienced and professional. Her actions prevented anyone from underestimating her.
At first, James was scared to give the project to such a young girl. But last night, Ray, the CFO of the New East Corporation, called him personally to address the matter.
At present, James was greatly relieved to see Clarissa's professionalism.
"Mr. Royle, Mr. Lark. Don't worry. I'll make sure the financial statements are ready by the end of the year," Clarissa said confidently.
There were too many documents on the table, including the bills and other things. It looked terribly messy.
Predictably, Clarissa couldn't carry any of it.
Mr. Lark wanted to help Clarissa and send them down in her stead, but he
stopped when Damien spoke from behind.
"I'll do it," he said, and he went downstairs with the pile of documents in his arms.
Clarissa followed Damien. When they were getting on the elevator, Clarissa
turned her head and bade goodbye to the two directors with a smile.
"Look who you angered yesterday!" James immediately scolded Mr. Lark, furious. Mr. Lark dropped his head low, scowling.
